Neck droop exercises, more often referred to as neck-firming exercises, help strengthen neck muscles as well as increase flexibility. While it is not possible to spot-reduce flabby neck fat, combining neck exercises with cardiovascular workouts and proper diet can help you reduce fat in the area.
Neck Extension Exercise
Sit down in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and your back straight. Tilt your head up while keeping your tongue attached to the roof of your mouth. Slowly lower your head back down, bringing your chin down towards your chest. Continue to move back and forth, tilting your head up and down until you are fatigued. As you improve, increase the number of repetitions you perform until fatigued.
Side Tilt
This neck tilt exercise is designed to strengthen the muscles on the side of your neck. Sit up straight with your feet on the ground and your back straight. From this position, rotate your head to the right, tilting it until you feel a stretch in your neck. Hold the stretch for 10 seconds before returning to your original position. Move to the left side, tilting your head for an additional 10 seconds. Repeat both motions until fatigued.
Side Resistance
This neck exercise is designed to build muscle in your neck with the aid of natural resistance. Stand up straight with your knees bent and arms at your sides. From here, bend your right arm at the elbow, placing your right hand on the right side of your head. From here, try to rotate your head to the side, providing resistance with your hand. Hold this for 10 seconds before attempting this with your other hand.
Backward Resistance Exercise
This neck exercise is designed to strengthen the muscles in the back of your neck. Stand up straight with your knees bent and arms at your sides. Bend your arms at the elbows, placing your hands directly under the base of your head. From this position, attempt to bend your head upwards. As you do so, push on your neck with both hands, preventing your head from bending back. Hold the position for several seconds before relaxing. Repeat the exercise until fatigued.
